I’ve added a new piece to the color gallery entitled “Hard To Get To”. It’s based on a photo of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison taken by Jake Rajs from his book “Carved by Time” (used by permission). I hope you like it.

I’ve added a new image to my color gallery entitled “Chasm Bridge”. It was one I started almost two years ago and have just been able to finish up this spring. It’s done with Prismacolor color pencils on Lettramax 2000 illustration board (smooth surface). I was inspired by a book idea my brother-in-law has been working on.

I bought a katana blade some years ago that came fitted with a hibachi. I looked through some examples of hibachi from other custom made swords and found a design I thought was rather elegant, but not overdone. This isn’t a copy of the one I found, merely an inspiration of. Check out the pictures on the side bar and you’ll see what I’ve done.

Okay – I finally got around to posting some of my favorite illustrations and photos of my shop. I’m also getting close to finishing a new blade, it’s one of the reasons for such a long delay between posts.
